Testimonials
Ritu Ma’am’s help was essential in my success in AP Chemistry. I had never taken any chemistry class before taking the advanced placement one at my high school, which is known for extreme workload, and course rigor. Despite these huge obstacles and almost no prior knowledge, Ritu Ma’am was able to guide me through each and every AP lesson, and helped me achieve a weighted “A” grade at the end of the class. This is because Ritu Ma’am is thorough with content, flexible in lesson planning (able to teach topics on the spot), and most importantly able to conform to the requirements of any course, regardless of difficulty or specificity.
Riya Kakkar , AP Students
Thank you very much Ritu Ma’am for your help and effort. You helped me a lot in my exams, you shared resources through out the day so I could practise in the area’s I was lacking behind and because of you I got more engrossed in chemistry, thus I am carrying it forward in grade 9. I love your teaching style and you would answer any questions I had which made me understand the unit better. I would n’t have done so well in my exams if you were n’t there to help me. So thank you Ritu Ma’am and I hope to see you in near future.
Naman Goel , MYP Student
Ritu ji is a phenomenal teacher with an in-depth knowledge in her subject. My son has immensely benefited from her guidance. Her conceptual approach and expertise in IB Chemistry teaching helped my son achieve good grades in his high school. I wish her all the best in all her endeavors & may more students be benefited from her guidance.’ Thanks for your guidance to my son
